rmakino Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Hi, I am very new to comics and could use some help with condition. The comics I have were from a family member who recently passed away. I have been looking into grading and pressing and would like people's opinion if these are worth pressing and what the current grade and potential grade could be with pressing.. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Edited September 11, 2021 by rmakino Grade is back Galen130 and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassman10 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The corners really hurt it and pressing won't help there. Small spine checks. 7.5-8.0 Nice book to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 7.0 as-is. A press will help the appearance. I'm not sure if that will put it into the "worthwhile to grade" scenario, though. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
